Chapter 108: White Horse General Fang De
Hearing that Fang De had rushed to the school martial arts field, Lin Yuyan took Jing Yi, Ji Wu, Chun Yuqi, Xiang Ying, Yi Ji and others out of the school martial arts field to welcome this Fang De.
When Xiang Ying heard that the coming general was Fang De, he sighed: "I knew that His Royal Highness was going to recruit a good general, but I didn't know that it would be General Fang De!" ”
Hearing Xiang Ying's emotion, Lin Yuyan also said as he walked: "I forgot that General Xiang Ying was also from the Nanyang Border Army. ”
"Hmm......" Xiang Ying nodded, and then said to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, this General Fang De is a rare good general, skilled in arching and horses, good at using long-handled knives, and a training general of the Nanyang Army." ”
"How can I say it, old man...... Cough...... The old general hasn't lied to me yet. Lin Yuyan said.
Xiang Ying obviously has a lot of respect for this General Fang De, and told Lin Yuyan about Fang De's heroic deeds: "Your Highness, this General Fang can break the pot in a hundred steps, and the army often calls him [White Horse General], Your Highness knows why?" ”
"The general on a white horse?!" Lin Yuyan replied casually.
Hearing Lin Yuyan's answer, Xiang Ying also smiled, and then said: "Your Highness only knows one and doesn't know the other, General Fang De does ride a white horse, but his mount also has an old anecdote. ”
"Once, General Fang De went out with the army, broke a tribe of the Longdirong people, and obtained hundreds of horses, and the generals of the same country all competed for fat and healthy horses, only General Fang De chose a thin and ugly young white horse, and the other generals laughed at him. Later, when General Fang De went out with the army to fight against the Rongdi tribe, this young white horse was already grown up, with fast feet and fast movements, and other horses could not catch up with his speed. Only then did everyone admire General Fang De's discerning eyesight, so they called General Fang [White Horse General]. ”
"Oh? And such a thing?! Lin Yuyan was also attracted by what Xiang Ying said.
In an instant, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the horizon not far away, Lin Yuyan looked over, and sure enough, more than a dozen horseback figures rushed over, and the first one was indeed a white horse under his crotch.
It seems that this person is the white horse general Fang De!
After a while, the dozen or so people were from far and near, and seeing that there were already people waiting outside the school martial arts field, the leading white horse general opened his mouth and shouted: "A certain is Fang De, dare to ask who you are waiting for?" And where is His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan! ”
Xiang Ying stepped forward and replied loudly: "General Fang De, a certain is Xiang Ying, a thousand-person general of the Wuyang Army in Shanglin Yuan, and the sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan, is by someone's side!" ”
Hearing this, Nafang De grabbed the horse rope, jumped off the horse and landed firmly on the ground, the knights behind him were all like this, and the group stopped the horses and walked in front of Lin Yuyan.
Lin Yuyan looked at Fang De carefully, this Fang De was dressed in sackcloth and civilian clothes, but the feeling between his eyebrows was similar to that of Ju Mao, it should be murderous, it seems that this white horse general is indeed a battle-hardened general!
Fang De hugged his fist and saluted Lin Yuyan and said: "A certain Fang De, meet Gongzi Yan, who was ordered by the old general Ju for His Royal Highness to drive for three years!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan's face was also stagnant, Fang De's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but the meaning was very obvious.
Anyway, Lin Yuyan heard it, "I just agreed to the old general Ju to come for His Highness to drive for three years, and after three years, His Highness will not be asked about his whereabouts." ”
Even the more contemptuous meaning Lin Yuyan can also be heard, Fang De came to Lin Yuan, it is completely the favor of the old man Ju, as for the identity of the sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan, it is nothing in front of Fang De.
Originally, Lin Yuyan was also indignant in her heart, but after thinking about it, three years later, I am afraid that if I let you go, you will be reluctant to leave!
Lin Yuyan also pretended not to hear other meanings, and said to Fang De with a smile: "I have long heard of the name of the general [White Horse General], and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" ”
Fang De shook his head and replied calmly: "Your Highness has praised ......"
Looking at this Fang De's businesslike face, although Lin Yuyan pretended to have a smile on his face, he was already lacking in his heart, so he said to Xiang Ying: "Now that the autumn harvest in Shuyang is over, you can transfer the remaining 4,000 subordinates back to Shanglin Yuan, first finish the Shangshu Mansion, and then choose a place to build a garrison barracks." ”
"Whoa." Xiang Ying responded.
Lin Yuyan looked at Fang De and said: "General Fang, the garrison barracks have not been completed for the time being, and the current school martial arts field is only a few residential buildings, and General Fang is better to settle down in Jianyang Mansion." ”
Hearing this, he bluntly refused: "No, for the sake of the generals and the soldiers, how can they be happy alone!" ”
I have to say that Lin Yuyan said that because of Fang De's words, all his dissatisfaction with him disappeared, looking at Fang De's solemn face, there was no meaning of vanity and wrongdoing, Lin Yuyan also nodded and said: "General Fang is Gaoyi, General Wen is very good at training soldiers, and the Wuyang Army is a newly recruited soldier, so I will entrust General Wuyang Military Training Army Sima to be in charge of training the new army of Wuyang Army." ”
Although Fang De didn't know what kind of military rank the "Training Army Sima" was, it was estimated that it was the flower fist embroidered leg in Shanglao Shizi's "Shanglin Yuan", and Fang De didn't care much about it, but the supervisor heard clearly about the training of the new army, and he should go down immediately.
Immediately, Lin Yuyan asked Xiang Ying to arrange for Fang De and his party to get off the bed.
Originally, Lin Yuyan also planned to set up wine for Fang De, but it was also because Lin Yuyan noticed Fang De's face of "don't get close to the living" and gave up.
After sending Fang De and his party away, Ji Wu, who had already had some opinions behind Lin Yuyan, said indignantly: "Sorry, I see that this old guy is a bit old and sells old!" ”
Jing Yi on the side also did not stop Ji Wu's complaints, because Fang De's contempt for His Royal Highness was also noticed by Jing Yi.
Lin Yuyan didn't think so, I have to say that Lin Yuyan thinks that although Ju Yan has retreated from the front line of the border army, his eyes are still the same as they were back then, if he Lin Yuyan can be safe and sound under the joint efforts of the old clan, what is indispensable is the support of this old general!
So, this Fang De has such a temperament...... Unruly, but he can enter Ju Mao's vision, and he must have some ability, no need to be suspicious, no doubt about employing people, so Lin Yuyan handed over the training of soldiers to this Fang De.
After all, Lin Yuyan has never been in contact with the battle of this side army, although he knows some relatively novel training methods, but Lin Yuyan knows that it may not be suitable for border army battles, so it is also a professional matter to be handed over to professional people to take care of.
is to hope that Fang De is really a general, according to Lin Yuyan's guess, nine times out of ten it is......
Sure enough, after Fang De entered the school martial arts field, he didn't even drink a sip of tea, but took the roster of joining the army.
As soon as he saw that the head of the platoon was marked with "Former Shuyang Sergeant", he immediately asked: "The Shuyang Army is the Shuyang Army that quelled the troubles of the Thornyang bandits." ”
Xiang Ying replied: "Exactly! ”
Fang De just asked more, not because he meant anything else, and the reason for this question was just that he had heard the news of the Thorn Yang bandits when he was stationed in the north, but after all, it was hundreds of miles away, and it was normal for the news to be incomprehensible.
At present, Fang De only regarded the Shuyang Army as an ordinary city defender, and the Jianyang bandits also thought that they were ordinary bandits.
Sweeping the roster at a glance, Fang De frowned and said, "The Wuyang Army is an establishment of 3,000 people, why is it recruiting more than 6,000 people now?!" Isn't it a violation of etiquette! ”
Hearing this, Xiang Ying said: "This is the new system of Shanglinyuan, and the Wuyang Army is set to be 3,000 regular troops, 7,000 tunken army, and the tunken army is mainly tuntian, and training can be organized during the slack time, and Sima Ke is considered to be a reserve soldier." ”
"Oh...... That's a way to go! Fang De thought for a few breaths and said.
Fang De turned to the back again, and saw the [Nine Grades of Military Merit Knighthood] designated by Lin Yuyan and Han Kui, just glanced at it a few times, and then made up his mind: "Unrealistic......"
After all, now the border army can keep the normal military food is enough, it seems that the smallest soldier in the nine-grade military merit knighthood system is awarded a hundred acres of land, with an annual salary of 20 stones, and it is already very remarkable that the soldiers of the border army can eat a full stomach!
As for the elite and tiger ben in the back, it is even more outrageous, a soldier can actually get 300 acres of land and an annual salary of 100 stones, even Fang De himself has never taken such a generous fortune from the Nanyang army.
The "Wudang", "Zhijinwu", and "Da Sima" in the back, Fang De didn't look at it, and closed it directly.
By now, Fang De has been convinced that Shanglin Yuan is just a farce of Gongzi Yan's self-amusement, just according to the nine-grade military merit knighthood system, millions of stone grains are needed every year to feed the so-called Wuyang Army, which is probably difficult to achieve by emptying the treasury of Wancheng.
If Fang De didn't want to leave Nanyang County for a moment for the sake of General Ju's kindness, but he wanted to stay here for three years, Fang De also comforted himself that he would be safe when he came, thinking that at least he could train a usable army, which could be regarded as doing his part for the martial arts.
After thinking about it, Fang De was also resolute, and directly instructed the few people who followed him: "Cheng He, you follow General Xiang Ying to use the treasury." ”
"Whoa!" Cheng He should be the way.
Xiang Ying said with an embarrassed face: "Fang Sima, this Wuyang Army is newly built, and there are only some weapons and leather armor of the former Shuyang Army in the treasury, and even the food is sent by the Jianyang Mansion every month. ”
Hearing this, Fang De thought about it and said: "Then please ask General Xiang Ying to report to the Wancheng soldier doctor, ask for a batch of armaments, and write a list for you later!" ”
"This ......" Xiang Ying wanted to speak and stopped, but he still replied stubbornly: "Sima, the Wuyang Army is not connected to the Wancheng Military Mansion, but is directly reported to His Majesty by the Shangshu Mansion." ”
"Shangshu Mansion?" Fang De frowned and asked rhetorically, "Is it a new gadget from Shanglin Garden?!" ”
Xiang Ying paused for the three words "new thing" and replied: "Exactly! Shangshu Mansion is in charge of all affairs of Shanglin Yuan, and Shangshu Ling is named Han Kui. ”
Hearing this, Fang De was silent for a long time.
Xiang Ying relieved the embarrassing atmosphere in the house, and also said: "Fang Sima rest assured, the Miyang Iron Mine has been placed under the rule of Shanglin Yuan, and a foundry is being built in Tanghe at the beginning of the month, and after completion, it will be able to meet the armament needs of the Wuyang Army." ”
That Fang De's home will become what is asked: "Foundry? The blacksmith shop that meets the needs of the 3,000 Wuyang Army's armament exchange needs, does it take to complete the new construction?! I think that within a year and a half, this Wuyang army will train the army with bare hands! ”
When Xiang Ying heard this, he replied with little confidence: "Your Highness has already said that it must be completed before the end of the year, and the first batch of armaments can be built in late November at the earliest." ”
Cheng He looked at his own lord Fang De and said to everyone: "Honest and unscrupulous!" ”
Fang De didn't say anything, but directly instructed Cheng He: "Cheng He, give you three days to collect 1,000 wooden guns, 1,000 Changge, 500 broadswords, 500 bows, and 3,000 arrows, maybe you can do it?!" ”
Although what Fang De said was an inquiry, he did not have the slightest intention of asking, and he did not mean to refuse at all.
"Cheng He is commanded!" Cheng He took on this task.
In fact, Fang De did not mean to be embarrassed, most of the list of armaments required could be found in the treasury left by the Shuyang army, and if there was a shortage, Fang De believed that it should be more than enough to raise according to Cheng He's talents.
Fang De looked at Xiang Ying and asked, "General Xiang, when I entered the school martial arts field, I saw a lot of horses, can I requisition them?" ”
"Well, that's the horses of the Wuyang Army, about three or four hundred." Xiang Ying replied.
Fang De said directly: "Okay! These horses can be used to train the new army in horsemanship! ”
Xiang Ying responded.
Immediately, Fang De summoned his son Fang Hui, and the general Dong Ying decided to have "horsemanship", "archery", "knife skills" and "wrestling" to select the regular soldiers.
As for Xiang Ying, Yi Ji and other former Wuyang Army generals, they were only arranged to "contact Shangshu Mansion", Yi Ji was still a little indignant, but Xiang Ying stopped laughing.
The soldiers of the border army have always believed that the local soldiers are soft-footed shrimp with fists and embroidered legs, and Xiang Ying also has a deep understanding of this.
Lin Yuyan knew that Fang De wanted to make the Wuyang Army practice the battle formation, but he was also surprised by this head, and he also wanted to see the details of the so-called battle formation, so he didn't interfere in the training of the Wuyang Army anymore.
